Remove Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration from main codebase

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR removes the Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration from the main codebase to keep the repository focused exclusively on Rapid7 InsightVM functionality. The XDR code has been preserved in git history for future reference or independent development.

Motivation

The InsightVM-Python repository is primarily focused on providing a modern Python client library for Rapid7 InsightVM. Including the Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration in the main codebase:

• Dilutes the project's focus
• Creates confusion about the primary purpose of the library
• Couples unrelated API integrations with different development cycles
• Complicates maintenance and documentation

Changes Made

Removed Files

• src/paloalto/__init__.py
• src/paloalto/api_pa_xdr.py - Main XDR API client with incident, endpoint, and alert management
• src/paloalto/api_pa_xdr_auth.py - XDR authentication helper functions

Updated Files

• tests/conftest.py - Removed XDR mock environment variables (XDR_API_KEY, XDR_API_KEY_ID, XDR_BASE_URL)
• README.md - Updated project description from "for Rapid7 InsightVM and Palo Alto Cortex XDR APIs" to "for Rapid7 InsightVM API"; removed Palo Alto API reference from documentation links
• CHANGELOG.md - Added [Unreleased] section documenting the removal; removed Palo Alto mention from v1.0.0 features
• .github/copilot-instructions.md - Updated project overview and structure to remove Palo Alto references

Added Files

• docs/PALOALTO_XDR.md - Comprehensive guide for users who need to access the XDR code from git history, including:
  • Instructions for checking out from commit 559a63e or earlier
  • List of files and functionality that was included
  • Environment variables required for XDR integration
  • Explanation of why the code was moved
  • References to Palo Alto API documentation

Accessing the Palo Alto XDR Code

Users who need the Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration can still access it:

# View the last commit that included Palo Alto code
git log --all --full-history -- src/paloalto/

# Check out the specific commit
git checkout 559a63e -- src/paloalto/

Full instructions are available in the new docs/PALOALTO_XDR.md file.

Testing

✅ All tests pass successfully:

• 67 tests passed
• 6 tests skipped (pre-existing, unrelated to this change)
• No regressions introduced
• All Rapid7 InsightVM functionality remains intact

Benefits

• Focused Scope: Repository now clearly focused on Rapid7 InsightVM
• Cleaner Codebase: Removed ~540 lines of unrelated code
• Better Documentation: Clear separation between InsightVM and XDR
• Preserved History: XDR code remains available in git history
• Independent Development: XDR integration can be developed separately if needed

Breaking Changes

⚠️ This is a breaking change for any users utilizing the Palo Alto Cortex XDR functionality. However:

• The InsightVM functionality is completely unaffected
• The XDR code is preserved in git history and can be extracted if needed
• Documentation is provided for accessing the removed code
